Velvet loves… The Grafton
Set in the heart of gorgeous Cambridge, The Grafton has been our staple shopping centre for quite some years, welcoming over 13 million visitors each and every year.
Built in the 1980s, it’s always been there for us. Serving our every needs, from a laid back bit of Sunday retail therapy to that frantic search for our perfect outfit, and not forgetting the late night escapades of finding last minute birthday gifts.
The Grafton is crammed full of shops, restaurants and entertainment, and even a multi-screen Vue cinema. It’s easily accessible by whichever form of transport you choose, whether that’s by car, bus or bike, meaning that you can get straight into your important shopping duties as quick as possible.
As well as boasting an extensive choice of shops, The Grafton also has brilliant facilities for the little ones. The Grafton Children’s Club is totally free to join, and a no-brainer when it comes to shopping with the kids.
Once they’re signed up, they’ll receive a funky membership card and a free gift every time they attend Children’s Clubs event. Shopping is no longer the dreaded mission that it used to be!
The shops vary from High Street stores to independent retailers, so there’s something for everyone at The Grafton, regardless of taste and price range.
Independent retailers are situated in the Eden Hall area of The Grafton.
As the aroma of coffee beans and sweet treats tickle your taste buds from Café Carringtons, a small selection of brilliant independent retailers will catch your eye.
From the cute, kitsch and vintage clothes of Jemporium, to the gorgeous old school sweet shop of Sweet Times, you’ll soon realise it’s more than just your average shopping centre.
Whether it’s a big shopping trip you’re after or just a spot of lunch, The Grafton is ready and waiting for you.
